When lighting becomes sculpture.
What if your lampshade looked just as beautiful switched off as it does switched on?
With Clava, UMAGE transforms a simple lampshade into a true design statement. Inspired by the elegance of Scandinavian design, the collection combines organic shapes, carefully crafted materials, and a fascinating interplay of light and shadow. Here, lighting does more than illuminate a room. It creates patterns, adds texture, and gives a space its own personality.
Everything You Need to Know About the Clava Collection
Clava is a collection of designer lampshades created by Danish brand UMAGE. It stands out for its rounded silhouettes, precisely crafted materials, and ability to turn light into a decorative feature. The collection includes wooden slat designs, offering an expression of Scandinavian design.
The Clava collection was designed by Søren Ravn Christensen, a Danish designer and co-founder of UMAGE. His work combines simple shapes with clever details, paying particular attention to how materials and light interact.
Clava lampshades are recognizable by their organic shapes and carefully detailed surfaces. The metal versions feature small, evenly spaced perforations, while the wooden models are made from delicate slats. These details create lighting effects that change depending on the viewing angle and surrounding environment.
Clava is an excellent choice when you're looking for more than ordinary lighting. Its sculptural shapes add a decorative dimension to a room, even when the light is switched off. Once illuminated, the lampshade creates a distinctive atmosphere through the openings and textures in its structure.
